Shipping Policy

Thanks for shopping at Apiary Gear. Here's everything you need to know about how we process and ship your order.

1. Order Processing

Orders are processed within 1–3 business days after payment is confirmed. Orders placed on weekends or public holidays are processed the next business day.

Once an order enters processing, it has been pulled from inventory and prepared for shipment. At that point it cannot be modified or canceled, even if the tracking number is still being generated.

2. Shipping Times

Shipping is free on all orders, with no minimum purchase required.

These estimates start from the day your order ships, not the day it was placed. Delays caused by carriers, customs, weather, or high-volume seasons are outside our control, and we appreciate your patience when they happen.

3. Tracking

You'll receive a tracking number by email once your order ships. If you don't see updates right away, give it 24–48 hours for the carrier to scan the package into their system.

4. Customs, Duties & Taxes

International orders may be subject to import duties or taxes charged by your country's customs office. These fees are the customer's responsibility and aren't included in the order total or shipping cost.

5. Incorrect Addresses

Please double-check your shipping address at checkout. If a package is returned to us because of an incorrect or incomplete address, we'll reach out to arrange reshipment, though additional shipping costs may apply.

6. Lost or Stolen Packages

If tracking shows your package was delivered but you can't find it, please check with neighbors and your local carrier first — most packages turn up within a day or two.

If a package hasn't been scanned for 10 or more days while in transit, contact us and we'll send a replacement at no cost.

Once a package is marked "delivered," Apiary Gear isn't responsible for theft from the delivery location. For high-value orders, we recommend shipping to a secure address.
